How to layer Stickers on iMessages or Photos.

Stickers can be layered over incoming text messages, photos, GIFs, or other stickers, so you can react to the content that your friends send you.

Stickers must be placed on an incoming chat bubble of some sort and can't be placed randomly in the messages field, Note that stickers can only be added to other stickers after the first sticker has been sent, so it's not possible to layer multiple stickers together when first composing a message.

Open Messages from your Home screen.

Tap on the Apps button (App Store Icon) Note; If you've already started typing, it will be hidden & you will have to tap on the Show More button to the left for it to show up. It looks like the > sign.

Swipe to switch to the sticker pack that you want.

Touch and hold the sticker that you want to use.

Now, drag the sticker onto either, a message bubble, photo, or an existing sticker, that you want to put it onto and let go.

Note: You can put as many stickers as you like on a photo or an existing sticker, so you and your friends can take turns embellishing photos and creating sticker collages. Stickers from different sticker packs can be mixed together in one field — just swipe between packs to change stickers.

How to Rotate & Scale my Stickers.

Stickers can be resized or rotated before they're placed, a feature that's especially useful when you want to accent a photo. When you drag a sticker from the sticker drawer onto the conversation, you'll need to have one finger on the sticker (usually your index finger).

You can use your thumb to pinch-to-zoom which will scale the sticker.

While still holding with your index finger, you can use the rotate gesture with your thumb to rotate your sticker.

This definitely takes some practice. I would recommend you test these gestures out with understanding friends to get the hang of it.

How to Delete Stickers already on iMessages.

There are several gestures used to manage your stickers. A single tap will display a sticker full screen, as will a 3D Touch press on the iPhone 6s and later. Using a long press on a sticker brings up a message reaction menu & a set of options.
